The Monarchy

At Christmas I was given a DVD of the BBC series of Edward and Mrs. Simpson.   I don't know how true to life it was but it was worth watching again.    I think Mrs. Simpson was an ambitious and clever woman and despite her protests really fancied herself as consort if not as Queen!  I remember at the time of the abdication  children singing "Hark the Herald angels sing,  Mrs. Simpson's pinched our King."  How different our history might have been had the marriage not been opposed!
